I just received the following email from Brazil´s AdSense Team:
(translated)
From: “Google AdSense” adsense-pt@google.com
Subject: Important message about your AdSense paymentHello;
We´d like to inform you that the delivery of your AdSense paycheck, from December, was aborted, unexpectedly, due to restrictions imposed by brazilian customs laws, related to courier-delivered checks.
be assured we are working to solve this impasse as soon as possible and we will contact you again as soon as we´ve further information.
So, after the Government tried to close Orkut, the Justice tried to close YouTube, now we´ve a classic Mexican standoff, Google at a side, brazilian government at the other?
What kind of government is stupid enough to block INCOMING money? there´s not even a single fracking tax advantage to people who BRING money to the country, but at least we should´ve equal rights to people who make money in country.
No, looks like we´re the bad guys.
Well, guess what: If things are not solved very quickly Everybody will lose. Specially Brazil´s IRS.
Use the Technorati adsenselock or sign this blog´s RSS if you want to keep up with further developments.
lamentavel the occurrence I am Brazilian

The brazilian government always trying to make our life harder. In fact they wants to rate our adsense incoming, is it right? I hope that Google can solve the problem as soon as possible working together with subsidiary Google office located in Belo Horizonte to make easy the process to tranfer money to our account in Brazil.
